Part of Alston Avenue closed this weekend in Durham for widening project
Drivers will need to use caution and prepare for possible backups this weekend along N.C. Highway 147 in Durham.
Posted — UpdatedA segment of South Alston Avenue (N.C. Highway 55) will be closed from Angier Avenue to the on and off ramps of N.C. 147 South. This will include the ramp that leads northbound Alston Avenue traffic on to N.C. 147 northbound.
The road will reopen at 6 a.m. on Monday, weather permitting.
The work comes as a contractor switches traffic from existing lanes to the future southbound lanes so permanent northbound lanes can be constructed.
Detour signs will be in place.
- Drivers will be directed to Main Street, to Fayetteville Street, to N.C. 147 Southbound to Exit 2 for Alston Avenue.
- Traffic will be directed to N.C. 147 southbound to the Briggs Avenue Exit (Exit 1) to N.C. 147 northbound to Exit 3A for Fayetteville Street to Main Street.
Additionally, the Durham Freeway off ramp to Alston Avenue will close Friday at 9 p.m. and is scheduled to reopen two weeks later once construction work on the ramp is complete.
Traffic for this closure will use the Fayetteville Street exit and Main Street.
